Concerned re: friend who is having SRS in Thailand

[aleon515]

Hi gals,

I hope nobody laughs at me. But I am concerned about a transgal friend of mine who is going to Thailand for SRS. She actually won't be home til November I think. Yeah I think I like her a lot, but don't think she is aware of this yet.

I think I'm missing something, what is you're feeling concerned about?

[aleon515]

Wonder if this is safe?

In a word, yes. They have some of the best surgeons for this in the world.

Thanks folks. Awhile ago someone posted quite a scary story about their experiences-- the person who posted is fine, and it may have just been a communication issue.(?)

I had SRS there Aug 2. Mind = blown great experience. I can only vouch for my surgeon (suporn); Dr Chettawut (I visited him a few months before August, tho I didn't end up picking him) seemed very professional and nice as well. I was reading that horror story of the girl going to Pichet while I was in the hospital/recovery, but as long as your friend isn't going to him, she should be fine.

Yes, Mandy is doing quite well now, but it was somewhat (ok, a LOT) "iffy" for awhile...

She is doing her post-op routine, working, doesn't need the cushion anymore...all things considered, her transition seems to have turned out better than we expected.

Still--DON'T GO TO PICHET!

even if the surgeon is good, any surgury can bring complications.  So the worry is really sweet

I don't know who she is seeing, but it might be Suporn, sounds like a very intensive setting which covers about everything maybe even hotel etc. I didn't ask re: surgeon as it seemed too personal.

Anyway glad you'all think it's sweet.
